Fourteen stories through which can be traced D. H. Lawrence s development in his twenties. Among these stories: A Prelude, his first published work, was written for a newspaper competition. The Old Adam and Witch à la Mode reflect the years of intense sexual frustration Lawrence endured while a schoolmaster in Croydon. A Chapel and A Hay Hut Among the Mountains records a happier period — the first months of his life with Frieda. The Thimble and The Mortal Coil (a first-class story, one of my purest creations) take us to the years of the First World War, years of Lawrence s maturity and growing sense of tragedy.
